1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In this study, we compare the effects of deferiprone (Def) and tetraethylammonium salt of salinomycinic acid (Sal) on lead (Pb)-induced toxicity in testes of Pb-exposed mice. Mature male ICR mice were allocated into four groups as follows: untreated control mice (ctrl)-received distilled water for 4 weeks; Pb-exposed mice (Pb)-subjected to 14-day Pb (II) nitrate administration at dose 80 mg/kg body weight (b.w.); Pb + Def group-Pb-exposed mice, treated with 20 mg/kg b.w. Def for 2 weeks; and Pb + Sal group-Pb-intoxicated mice, treated with 16 mg/kg b.w. Sal for 14 days. The results demonstrated that Pb exposure significantly increased blood and testicular Pb concentrations, decreased testicular calcium (Ca) content, significantly elevated testicular levels of magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) but did not significantly affect the endogenous contents of phosphorous (P) and iron (Fe) compared with untreated controls. Pb intoxication induced disorganization of the seminiferous epithelium. Def or Sal administration reduced blood Pb and testicular Pb concentrations in Pb-exposed mice compared with the Pb-intoxicated group. Mg, Zn, and Se concentrations in testes of Pb-exposed mice, treated with Def or Sal, remained higher compared with the untreated controls. Sal significantly increased testicular P concentration compared with untreated controls and significantly elevated the testicular Ca and Fe concentrations compared with the toxic control group. Both chelating agents improved testicular morphology to a great extent. The results demonstrate the potential of both compounds as antidotes for treatment of Pb-induced impairment of male reproductive function.
